The Farmers Alliance.

ANNAPOLIS, Mo. August ~, 1887.
The Farmers Alliance met at Vulcan, in
Iron county, No., on August 9th, 1887, and
organized as a county institution. There

ed by delegates from all parts of Iron county,
and the staff of the county officers is given,
to wit: John Crowly, President j. w.
Lashley, Vice. President; Thomas Jackson,
Secretary; John Kelley, Treasurer; W. C.

The Committee on Numerical Strength of
Iron County reported 147 members of the

The Local Optionists of Mississippi
county are evidently no novices in cleo
tioneering lodges of the more repre-
hensible sort. The following circular
was issued day or two before the late
election and scattered amongst the
negroes. It claimed to have the Ants
as it's progenitors, and was intended to
delude the darkies into voting for Local
Option. Of course the authors of the
document were in favor of making
people "moral" by force of law:
WHAT THE SALOONS SAY!
To The Leading Democrats in Mississippi
County:
If we want to keep up the Democratic
Party in our county, we must vote the
negroes against Local Option, for we can't
lead the negroes with anything that has no
whiskey I'm it and If we loose the saloons in
this county the Democratic party is dead,
and the negroes will be put into office. Head
will be out for office If we loose the saloons.
Now I would be in favor of Local Option If
there was no negroes and Republicans in
1hss county, and we can prohibit the negroes
and Republicans from getting into office, If
We have whiskey to vote the negroes with.
Remember the old principle. "The Negro

J. u. Barnard.

From the htrksvtUe Mol Democrat, Aa-
gust %, 1887.
Prof. J. U. Barnard and wife and lit
tie son Dale left yesterday morning for
Cape Girardeau, Mo. The Prof. has
accepted the chair of language and lit
erature in the State Normal school at
that place. He has one OF the best
subordinate positions in the state, out
side the university. Prof. Barnard
carries with him the esteem and re-
spect of this entire community. Few
men have gone from our midst carry
ing with them the confidence of larg-
er number of good people than he. We
hear expressions of regret upon every
hand.
We consider Prof. Barnard one of the
best men, and one of the most thorough
and competent teachers in the state.
He not only stands high in this COM
munity but he has a reputation in the
state that is second to none. His in
fuence is always upon the side of right
and purity and honesty. Few teachers
in our Normal school have done more
for the advancement of the educa tional
interests of the state than Prof. Bar
nard. For the last thirteen years he
has held position in the school and
we have never heard HIM charged with
neglect of duty or with anything be-
meath gentleman.
Southeast Missouri is very fortunate
in securing the services of Prof. Bar
nard. Should he ever return to our
community we insure him that he will
receive hearty welcome.

The Bible i'm the Common Schools.

Having enjoyed a large amount of
fun in reading Mr.. Maston's late arti-
Gle. an effort will be made to confer a
substantial benefit on him by sound
lesson In controversial tactics.
Mr.. Maston should know that it does
not matter whether a discussion is car
ried on with words or swords; whether
it's object is to establish dogma or
win a province, the laws that govern
&c are the same.
Every skillful general delivers battle
in advance of the position which he
expects to hold as the last resort. Ev-
cry militsry position has key or point
on the possession Of which success de-
nends. A skiIlful general will, az
much as possible, arrange bis troops
so as to concentrate the whole weight
of his fire on the defense of the key of
his position. Rosecrans at Stone River
aud Meade at Gettysburg were great
generals. Mr. Maston's military name
is Captain Bobadil.
The key to the position OF Captain
B.. as of all who agree with him, is in
the idea that t! e teacher OF the COM
mon school represents the parent OF
the common scholar, and that, as the
uarent was bound to furnish religious
insarurt ton TO his child, so the teacher
coming in the place of the parent is
bound to furnish such instruction. The

Does st. Louis want to hog the earth.
politically speaking? That city has all
the big, fat Federal offices not inhibited
from going there by law, and now it
wants Deputy Marshal Wheel IAN
office-h holder under Fraud Hayes and
other Republieans-to take Couzzens'
place. Yet, on''a free ballot and a fair
COUNT and full vote, st. Louis is not
reliably Democratic. We suggest that,
in reason, at least one of the big Fed
eral Offices ought to go to the Southeast,
which is reliably loyal to the Demo-
cratic dministration-and Hon. Jas
per N. Burks is our only man promi-
nently named for U. s. Marshal of the

gave some FEASIBILITY to this idea and
the fact that it did so was one of the
great evils of the system, for no one
else should supersede the parent with
the child. But under our common
school system the teacher lie not an en-
ploye of the parent, but of the state.
The common school teacher is as
much an officer of the state as the gov
ernor. His right to official recognition
does not depend OH the mode of his
induction into Office, but on the fact
that he has complied with the mode
prescribed by law.
The sta to pays the teacher. It has
a general fund for that purpose drawn
from Certain sources of state revenue.
The fact that this revenue is supple
nented by tax self-imposed by the
people of each district, does not affect
the principle, because those supple
mentary taxes are limited by state law
and are levied and collected as other
state taxes.
Again, when the teacher reports his
work in order to draw his pay, he does
not report to the patrons of the school,
but to a board of officers, who are the
agents OF the state, regularly elected
under its laws. And these reports are
made On blanks prescribed and furn-
ished by the state. The key of Capt.
BIS whole position has thus been taken
in reverse and stormed and everything
that depended on the assumption that
the teacher represents the parent, has
vanished into thin air.
To recapitulate the argument. When
the state took charge of education it
only engaged to furnish secular instruc-
ton. The subject of all religious in
structiou is the conscience, and all the
rights of conscience are among the
rights that have not been surrendered
to the state, but are reserved by the
people. And these rights and ali ex-
ercises of them are protected against
all state interference, except where the
exercise of an alleged right of con-
science, produces a civil lnconvenience.
Let me not be misunders TODD. Whilst
I would bar every school-room against
the bible in the abstract, / demand in
every schoolroom the bible in the con.
crete-the bible wrought into the life
Of the teacher and scholars before they
enter the school-room.
AS for Capt. B., let him read the 14th
chapter of the Epistle to the Romans;
the Westminster Confession of Faith,
On Christian Liberty and Liberty of
Conscience, and the decision of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania In the
celebrated Omit case; and may the
Lord add greatly to his knowledge and
subtract from his gas.
